DAOs are Orgs: Moving at the speed of trust (in a trustless environment) - with Tracheopteryx

Podcast Notes

Today we’re joined by Tracheopteryx — or Trach — Pioneer of decentralized governance, operations, and compensation systems. Trach is co-founder of Coordinape and previous contributor to yearn finance.

In this conversation, we delve into what DAOs are and why the future lies in this framework. We also talk about the connection between ownership and decision making, striving for a ‘trustless’ infrastructure, why we might not see companies like Apple or Google ‘go DAO’ soon, the role of six-person teams — and why everyone working on DAOs are in essence collaborating on a creating a greater pie.

Key highlights

We discussed:

• What DAOs are and key differences with corporate governance
• Trustless mechanisms and the Blockchain
• How likely existing traditional players are to embrace DAOs
• What we mean by the word ‘trustless’
• How non-developers can get involved with DAOs projects
